Touhou Youmu Konpaku Epicry

The Gardener of Hakugyokurou...

Thanks to the Christmass time, I finaly could put some real effort to drawing. I was planning to draw other character instead of Youmu, but I decided to "warm up" a little before real thing . So much of warming up, it's probadly better than I had in my mind before!

I wanted to practise my colouring and lightning skills, so the pose is quite simple here. I tried using 3 lightsources and I believe they work out well together.

The fog... was really annoying to do, I tried to avoid doing it at all cost. I had an idea how to do it, but I tried to find easier way to do it. Well, I couldn't... so I had to do it in very boring and hard way. And most of the labor was lost when I faded the surroundings! Oh well... for great honour and justice!

Only thing that I regret is the ghost part. It was my target of frustration during the process, so it's pretty lame
